There are twenty one universities alto
gethcr in the kingom of Italy, seventeen
of which are royal that is, maintained
out of the funds of the state; and four
free" universities (Camerino, Macerata,
Ferrara and Perugia) are maintained out
of local funds There is only one univer-
sity for Piedmont, at Turin; for Liguria,
at Genoa; 1 for Lombardy, at Pavia; |
for the old Venetian territories, at Padua;
2 for the island of Sardinia, at Cagliari
and Sassari; Bologna, Modena, Ferrara
lie near each other; Tuscany has Pisa and
Siena; Rome is for central Italy; Naples
is the only university for southern Italy;
while Sicily has three-Palermo Messina,
Catania. Naples is attended by 5000
students-an attendance which in central
Europe is only surpassed at Berlin and
Vienna. Turin has an attendance of
2,100; Rome, 1900; Bologna, 1,160;
Padua, 1000; Pavia, 1000; Palermo, $50;
Genoa, about 800; Pisa, 600; Catania, 400
Of the others, Modena is at the head
with go, and Ferrara at the foot with 49,
Surely nothing would be lost by the
amalgamation of these miniature univer-
sites. Ferrara only processes to teach
medicine, mathematics and jurispru-
dence; Maeerata, Jurisprudence only.
Per contra, the great Milan academy
where Ascoli teaches tone of the greatest
philologists in Europe) and the Abate
Ceriani is librarian of the Ambrosian-
has not the rank of a university although
it doe more genuine university work than
dozen of the nominal universities The
same is to be said of the Institute of Higher
Studies at Florence, where the teaching
staff includes the historian Villari, the
great Hellenist Comparetti and De Guer-
natis, Bartoli and Rajna-names famous

The cases of cholera which occurred in
the neighborhood of Mayence, premature
ly diagnosed as English but finally
identified as the terrible Asiatic cholera,
frightened the good citizens of Berlin and
induced the publication of a note by Pro.
fessor Koch, who for the last five years
has occupied chair at the University and
presided over the HYGIENE institute. He
it was who pronounced the comma
bacillus to be the cause of the Asiatic
cholera, and this opinion has been fol
lowed by publication whose contents
are most agreeable 10 the thirsty Germans
and will certainly adolf such be posi-
ble-tO the Heidelberg tr1ns'' which are
daily consumed.
Koch has declared, as the result of long
and thorough study, that the comma
bacillus soon dies in beer. This opinion
revolutionizes the former theory that the
beverage was favorable to the propaga-
ton of the disease, and asserts that water
is positively conducive to its spread.
Beer, says the professor, is really bene-
fetal in cases of cholera, the water ingre-
dents being thoroughly cooked and
the alcohol destroys the bacillus. 1t is a
fact wor thy of especial consideration. he
adds, that during the cholera epidemic in
Vienna in 1877 not single case occurred
in brewery. This declaration has been
hailed with delight, and were such q
thing as Brewers Order of Merit ex-
tant Professor Koch would receive the
decoratiOn.-Berlin Cor New York Trib-

A report has been sent to the govern
ment Of Guatemala by Mr.. Edwin Rock
strock, who was appointed to visit Totoni-
capan, where volcanic disturbances have
occurred daily since July of last year.
TOtonicapan is in valley, the drainage
from which forms the River Pla, one of
the afiuents of the Samala. The valley is
inclosed by high mountains, which attain
their greatest elevation at the northeast
and south. The formation is all volcanic,
and the rocks are covered with volcanic
dust and ashes, through which the rivu-
lets have cut deep beds. To the south of
the city there are numerous hot springs,
some of which attain a temperature of
140'
The nearest volcanoes are Cerro
Quemada and Alitlan, from both of
which smoke and sulphurous vapors fire.
quently issue. Thus Totonicapan is stu
ated in an essentially volcanic region,
which by no means signifies that new
volcano must consequently form there.
At depth of some miles the conditions
necessary toproduce the phenomena men,
toned undoubtedly exist, but this by nc
means indicates that new volcano is in
course of formation. 1t may, however,
be conjectured, from the fact that the
greatest activity is exhibited during the
rainy season, that the water filtrates
through the upper crusts and reaches the
volcanic center. Cor New York

How to Make Money .

Many people who have accumulated
few hundred or few thousand dollars.
would be grateful to the man who would
yield sure increase without danger OF
loss. 1t is the danger. in facs almost
the certainty of partial if not total loss OF
capital that deters people from placing
their accumulations in nearly every line
of those enterprises known as specula>
tive. ITO speculate is to many only
another name for to gamble There
is. however. one means Of making even a
small capital accumulate and bear fruit,
with no chance of loss Real estate is a
commodity which has always an intrinsic
value; a power of producing something
which gives it price. an impossibility
of destruction by any misfortune or acct
dent which gives it stability. There
are two ways in which person
can invest in real estate small
or large sum The first by
loaning TO others portion of its
value. giving TO them the power of pos
sessing what otherwise they could not,
and taking in return portion of the
product of such property in the form of
interest To those who are satisfied
with a reasonable income from this in
vestment. this offers the best and safest
way to solve the problem. The other
way is by buying lands with the expecta>
ton of an increase in the value. This
will be affected more or less by cireum>
stances, but the certainty Of gaining
something, and the possibility of an iu>
crease far beyond any obtainable rate of
interest. would tempt anyone who would
season his investment with the flavor of
speculation. Would you learn more of
